点评:I stumbled upon the recently opened Luss Distillery while exploring the beautiful town of Luss. Enticed by the signs explaining entry was free of charge I was greeted by four modern buildings which have their own dedicated purpose. The cafe was a great rest stop for travellers who want delicious food or drink, the Discovery Centre is an interactive education into the history of gin and whiskey, the Distillery gives you a glimpse into the steampunk esk devices that go into the crafting process, and the shop holds an amazing array of Loch Lomond whiskeys and Ben Lomond Gins with a dedicated tasting area to the rear.
As a solo participant I was made to feel most welcome, and was offered a tasting experience with a guided tour of the whiskeys and gins based on my personal preferences by the two very knowledgeable gentlemen. It’s clear to see they are experts and quite passionate and knowledgeable about the blends and flavour profiles of their whiskeys and gins - all served with a sense of humour and care.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, and walked out with a bottle of a newer blend of the Loch Lomond whiskey which is not available currently in my local area to savour and enjoy. No pressure throughout the experience to purchase, but I was converted after tasting the delicious blends.
An experience I will definitely repeat again in the future when I visit the area again.

作为一名独自前来的游客,我受到了热情的款待。两位博学的先生根据我的个人喜好,为我安排了威士忌和金酒的品鉴和导览。显然,他们是威士忌和金酒的专家,对它们的调配和风味特点充满热情,而且服务周到风趣。
我在这里的体验非常棒,还带走了一瓶洛蒙德湖威士忌的新调配版本,这种威士忌目前在我所在的地区买不到,可以好好品尝一番。整个过程中,店员并没有强迫我购买,但品尝过这些美味的威士忌后,我彻底被征服了。
下次再来这个地区,我一定会再次光顾。
